Why these settings

The HB 20MFX is a budget modeling amp with limited EQ sweep, so push mids hard to capture that nasal Marshall bark. Your Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s with ProBuckers is actually very close to Noel's original guitar — no compensation needed there. Roll tone knob to 7 to tame the ProBucker's high-end and match the compressed, slightly dark studio sound.

PRO TIPFor the solo, switch to neck pickup with tone at 5 and dig in harder with your pick — Noel's solo tone on this track is notably rounder and more vocal than the rhythm crunch, achieved by pickup selection rather than a separate gain stage.
